Google Maps has become an essential tool for navigating our daily lives. From finding the quickest route to work to discovering hidden gems in a new city, it's packed with features that make getting around easier and more enjoyable. But beyond the familiar functions, Google Maps holds a treasure trove of hidden features waiting to be explored.1. Downloading Offline Maps
Download Google Maps Offline
Open the Google Maps app on your Android device.
Tap on your profile picture or initial in the top right corner.
Select "Offline maps."
Tap "Select your own map."
Zoom in on the area you want to download and adjust the borders of the map.
Tap "Download."
2. Using Offline Maps
Once you've downloaded a map, it will be available in the "Offline maps" section of the app.
To use an offline map, simply make sure you're in an area covered by the map and that your internet connection is turned off.
You can then search for locations, get directions, and even use turn-by-turn navigation, just like you would with an online map.
3. Tips and Tricks
To save storage space, you can choose to download only certain sections of a map, such as the city center or the area around your hotel.
You can also update your offline maps to ensure you have the latest data. Just go to the "Offline maps" section and tap on the map you want to update.
If you're running low on storage space, you can delete offline maps that you no longer need.
